One of Lambs Letters.

These letters are rich in sterling
sense, as we'll as poetic gossip and
friendly badinage. Barton, at one time
was tempted, as so many have been
and will be again, to leave "the drudg-
cry of the desks dead wood" and be-
take himself to literature as liveli-
hood.
"Throw yourself on the world"
cries Lamb, without any rational
plan of support, beyond what the
afford you!! Throw yourself rather,
my dear sir, from the steep Tarpeian
rock, slap-dash headlong upon iron
spikes. If you had but five consola-
tory minutes between the desk and
the bed, making much of them, and
live q century in them rather than
turn slave to the booksellers. Keep to
the bank and the bank will keep you.
| bless every star that Providence, not
seeing good to make me independent,
has seen it next good to settle me
upon the stable foundation of Leaden-
hall. Sit down, good B. B., in the
banking office. What! is there not
from six to eleven p. M, six days in
the week, and is there not all Sunday?
Fie, what a superfuity of mans time,
ifyou could but think so!-enough for
relaxation, mirth, converse, poetry,
good thoughts, quiet thought. o, the
corroding, torturing, tormenting
thoughts that disturb the brain of the
unlucky wight who must draw upon
it for daily sustenance! Henceforth l
retract all my fond complaints of en-
ployment; look upon them as lovers
quarrels. l was but half in earnest.
Welcome dead timber of desk that
makes me live"
Bernard Barton took his friends
advice, and doubtless lived to bless
him again and again for it.-Macmil-

CHEAP ARMS FOR VETERANS.

Washington Special: Grand Army posts
and other veteran organiza atoms that want
weapons with which to make themselves
more imposing on state occasions will be in
terested in some information supplied by
the chief of ordnance apropos of request
from a Grand Army post in the town of
Birch Run, Mich, for a present of fifty I'M
seryiceable muskets and bayonets. A bill to
accommodate them having been introduced
and referred to the military committee, the
committee sought information of the war de-
partment and the chief of ordnance replied
that his bureau had large quantity of arms
in reasonably good order, but out of date,
that it was selling at very low figures, and
he inclosed detailed price list His bureau
was selling the manufacturing muskets for
merly used in the army for 81 each, and
full set of accOuterments at so cents, and
large number of Grand Army posts and like
organizations have supplied themselves at
these rates In view of this information the
committee has reported adversely on the pc
tiGion of the Birch Run post for present of
fifty muskets, and is quite sure that the post
would not have asked for the present if it
had known how cneaply it could buy the
GUNS.

It is interesting to note that q stat
istical enthusiast has been analysing
the vote taken recently in the United
States Senate on the Woman Suffrage
amendment. Taking the country
by geographical sections it appears
that New England and the West
ern States together gave q
small majority in favor OF the
resolution, the Pacific section was
tied on the issue, while in the Middle
States and in the South, Woman Suf-
frage had only one solitary supporter.
From this point of view it must be
confessed that the outlook is not SO
encouraging as it might be. It sug-
gests, however, the advisability of
pushing the missionary work with
more vigor and energy in the South.
The bounding West can evidently take
care of itself and New England may
be pittied against the Middle States.
A champaign organized on this basis
might be productive OF excellent re-
suits.

gree Mr.. Beecher's utterances widely heard
from his own lips and read still more extern

well-meaning friends. who urged him to
follow the example of those teachers
who, while sharing his views ON
the subject, kept them to themselves. The out
break OF the war excited Beecher's patriotism to
red heat Plymouth church equipped soldiers
to fight for the Union cause. When hostilitles
were in progress Mr.. Beecher visited Great Brit
ain as a representative of the federal cause. and
made many public addresses in it's defense His
oratorical gifts were at their best, ana he re-
turned after campaign which was or great
ately in the direction of stimulating the zeal of
lts friends than in diminishing the number OF
its enemies. Upon his return he resumed his
pastoral duties; and continued in their exercise
since. The unhappy scandal with which his
name was associated publicly in 1874 and 1878
unquestionably weakened him before the PEG
pie, but he maintained his place at the head OF
American preachers: No other divine than he
possessed the same copious elOquence, the same
command over the emotions of his hearers the
same ready wit and fascinating ease OF delivery.

In Mr.. Beecher the Union cause during its dark
est days found It's most ELOQUENT and influential
champion His sermons and speeches in de-
tense OF the Union were models Of imprisoned,
logical, patriotic utterances He was for many
years editor Of the Christian Union, con-
tributor to the periodical press, the author of
various books and perhaps the most popular
lecturer in the land. In addition to his sermons
he published "The Star Papers," Lectures to
Young Men," Industry and ldleness, Life

Christ" tstfll incompIetel and Yale Lectures on

$50, 900, and for one year, S74-it was doubled
During his visit to England last year Mr.
Beecher received much attention, and he
preached in many churches in London and
lectured in several cities. Mrs. Beecher accom-
panied him. Mr.. Beecher's political adherence
was given, a general thing, to the Republican
party, but he claimed and exercised the voters
right to an independent Judgment on candidates
and questions. He an advocate of free
trade. The wife of his youth survives him. His

The immigrations and real estate
boom in Southern California has not
previously been equalled. A very large
majority OF the people coming to the
southern portion OF the State belong
tothe wealthy and the well-to-do class
es. They are purchasing small hold
ings, chiefly with the intention of the
establishment which the cultivation
OF citrus fruits and semi-tropica
plants confers upon a home. The
price asked for land has long since
lost ELL reas enable relation with the
value OF it's product; but for the
most part, the purchasers care little
for these things. Town lots in Los
Angeles and other points are sold at
fabulous prices. Whether or not the
"boom" will hold out seems to be a
debat4bl5 question but there is nc
questions as to it's present magnitude

The official army list for 1887,
which is just issued, shows that of the
whole number OF line officers now in
the regular army all of the Colonies,
Lieutenant Colonies, and Majors, al
but 24 OF the Captains, and about
one-third OF the -Lieutenants
were in the service during the rebellion.
A study OF the record of these officers,
as given briefly in the Register, pro-
vokes the surmise that the average Of
the field officers cannot be less than
55 years. and that OF the Captains
and Lieutenants mentioned not less
than so years. Another war would
find them in places which they would
not fill on account OF age. They would
have to give place, as the old officers
OF 81 did, to younger and more eff
Gent men.
